lol

It was the same with Walking Dead, which was also great. It's sort of...you're guiding this character, but the character's choices may not be what you want them to be. You're not "
playing"
them like in an RPG, even if it feels like you are sometimes. A given character might consider doing one of several things, but would never do the other thing;
the thing you want them to do.

[Dyana Marsten]

I played 1-3. Didn't get episode 4 yet. Looking forwards to it, though!

[Yoren longshore]

Yes, and you are not playing the game for big game changers, I think it is the playing of a character and doing hard moral dilemmas, I just love to hate that game sometimes :;
):

[Gwyneth Drakeson]

Yeah, a good rule of thumb is that if you're emotionally involved in the game's story (as opposed to just raging at the controls, or GUI or other aspects of the mechanics of it), then the game is winning...even if you're not cheering, or happy.

[Yoren longshore]

I cried at the walking dead season 1 finale, for like five minutes, but I also have had periods of rage over the games choices. Why could you just not subdue ****
bleeped out for plot spoiler

[Kevan Lyras]

I loved the first season, but I could never really get into the second one..

[Yoren longshore]

It was not as good, they should have left it after the first one, as that was marvellous. However they did not do a bad job at the second, its just that nothing compares to the first one ...

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

I also got upset at the end of the Walking Dead Season 1 game, and I'm currently playing Season 2.

I've only played Chapter 1 of the GoT one. I have to very carefully control my doses of GoT, because triggers.

Played all of The Wolf Among Us, and loved it.

[Athelstan]

Mr. Jon Cobb I see what you did there...

This is a dance off bruh!!

Silver predators and their minion pets lol

[Gwyneth Drakeson]

For Casque and Wren purposes, is Sofia Blackwood Status 4 or higher?

[Reader]

For Casque and Wren purposes, is Sofia Blackwood Status 4 or higher?

For all purposes, she is indeed status 4!

Speak to her tonight, before her father confines her to quarters once more.

[Gwyneth Drakeson]

Is she at the mummer show? If not, perhaps the ball...

[Reader]

She is indeed at Casque and Wren, sorry for ambiguity. Meant that it was your big chance to catch her.

On the ball, as some people have asked: Agility (any) for those of you looking to engage in a dance off.

Can't promise official slam dancing events will use the same abilities. :;
):

[Loreia]

Just played episode 4 of telltale game of thrones, has anyone else played it yet?

Yes! My....'invite' went well, and I think was worth the payoff.

[Athelstan]

What I like of hat game is that at least they flesh out 1 House, and give us a completely new one and some good background and ideas of it.

Of course I will eventually play all episodes...

"
But back to why we are here. Here is the Reynolds manoeuvre. You disguise your intent by placing your blade just behind your back, giving them what they think is an opportunity. If you hold it just so, your blade can be brought to bear if they don’t fall for it, but if they do, you spin on your back foot, moving you to the side and enabling you to attack your opponent’s flank, where generally you can find more gaps.

Incidentally, this was named after a ship’s captain killed in a duel over a Courtesean, or so I am told. Apparently, he thought he was doing well."

Athelstan ought to learn that move.

(this is a reference "
Shindig"
, the same episode of Firefly that I took "
Can I call you Ath?"
from)

[Ser Jorah Holt]

it was indeed. I figured you would be the first one to recognise it

[Athelstan]

Never got into that series

[Daveth Coldbrook]

Just as Ben is about to depart he spins on his heels. "
My Lord, perhaps we should have a field ready maester with us in case of unforeseen injuries. Our own Maester Haelis may be good but very unprepared for the battlefield I believe."


(OOC: This is me throwing out a possibility for Jorah to suggest Daveth. Feel free to shoot it down.)

You know, I never expected to hear, in or out of character, a sentence that can be summarised as "
I would take [person], but they're not prepared for the battlefield. Let's take Daveth instead."
.

[Benedict Marsten]

Well technically IC Ben doesn't suggest Daveth, but Ooc I was trying. I once played a Barnell/Coldbrook. Selling Daveth to Tomas is not easy.

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

"
...foolish daughter..."


Foolish?! She talks like I've ruined everything!

It's a shame I can't tell her just how close she came to have a Longshore son-in-law. That would put things right into perspective!

[Gwyneth Drakeson]

Though it wouldn't do much to reassure her of your wisdom.

[Athelstan]

What's stoping you, she might just kick the bucket from the heart attack hahaha

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Though it wouldn't do much to reassure her of your wisdom.

Yeah, there is that.

[Baelon Drakeson]

You know, the 'What's in the box' thread is darkly and discordantly hilarious when you read it while envisioning us in our various costumes.
Kind of like 'Death to Smoochy'.
